Nine Lansing homes once acquired by UM-Sparrow have been remodeled and are on the market

Nine homes acquired years ago by the former Sparrow Health System near its Lansing hospital are expected to soon have families living in them.

University of Michigan Health - Sparrow in 2024 donated the homes on Jerome and Ferguson streets, east of the hospital, to the county's land bank and a nonprofit to renovate them back into livable housing. Some are already in the process of being sold and the others up for grabs are listed for up to $190,000.

Five of the nine homes, most of which date to the 1910s, were renovated by the Ingham County Land Bank and are being sold by Rooted Real Estate of Greater Lansing, from $180,000 to $190,000.
